In the independent art film Savam, produced by Travancore Films, a somber atmosphere pervades as a family, friends, and church members gather for the funeral of Thomas Ittikkora. The film's unique cinematography and storytelling approach, reminiscent of a dark comedy by Sartre, mark a bold experiment in Indian and Malayalam cinema. The camera work is intelligent and the direction is outstanding, with the director's honesty to the cast and story shining through. Without fantasy or imagination, the film leaves viewers with a haunting sense of having visited a home before a funeral.
